No one ever said it's easy to be Oaqui. Even if one is totally Oaqui,
totally immersed in a totally Oaqui-saturated environment, being a
totally-actualized Oaqui -- there are, in sum, times when it's just
too hard to maintain the correct Oaquitude. And things just generally
fall pretty much apart. Totally.

These are the times when sanity becomes a definitely attractive
option, even for the Oaqui.

For Oaqui and non-Oaqui alike the return to some version of relative
sanity frequently requires the assistance of a full-time expert
-- a Professional Therapist who is intimately familiar with the
practice of the therapy, who has spent a life time in its pursuit,
and has made it a life's work.

Fun, as we know, is endemic to the nature of any Oaqui enterprise.
Thus, unlike the non-Oaqui forms of therapy, all Oaqui therapies
are Fun Therapies. Amongst the Oaqui, the term Play Therapy is redundant.

It is interesting to note how parallel, yet non-intersecting are
the practices of Oaqui Therapy and non-Oaqui so-called Play Therapy.
Whereas amongst the non-Oaqui, Play Therapy is for children, Oaqui
(inherently fun) Therapy sessions are for adults. Whilst amongst
the non-Oaqui the goal is to help patients confront primal pain,
betwixt the Oaqui nothing is more therapeutic nor more primal to
confront than fun.

A typical Oaqui Therapy session may involve hours of intense silliness
punctuated by moments of sheer hysteria, until it is generally agreed
that the patient/s has/ve been able to recover another moment of
absolute fun.

Through marathon sessions, sometimes attended by a whole team of
Oaqui fun Therapist/s, the Oaqui is ultimately given the opportunity
to relive those truly primal moments of rapturous laughter which
are so central to the formation of the Oaqui character: to the first
total tickle, the first wet-your-pants giggles, the first ecstasy
of achievement. Amongst the Oaqui, these early and momentary experiences
are the most powerful examples of what the non-Oaqui classify as
trauma. For the Oaqui Therapist, these are the moments of Primal
Glee.

The Oaqui Therapist is greatly admired for his/her mastery over
a wide variety of Glee-evoking techniques and tools, but even more
admired for his/herself/ves'/'s personal capacity for Glee. Amongst
the Oaqui, none is more continually and reliably Glee-prone than
the Oaqui Therapist.

Another significant deviation between Oaqui Therapy and the kinds
of so-called play therapies practiced amongst the non-Oaqui is age
factor. Whilst amongst the non-Oaqui it is the adult and most senior
therapist who commands the greatest respect and salary, amongst
the Oaqui, the younger the Therapist, the more highly his/her services
are valued. In truth, many of our most cherished and revered of
Oaqui Therapist/s is/are known to be /a/ mere child/ren, often merely
in the early twenties: months, sometimes weeks, sometimes days,
even.
